No Money Down first appeared on Billboard's "Most Played" chart 62 years ago this week. That de Ville is still rolling!

"Way back in the 50’s, we gathered around the Silvertone hifi to listen to Charles’ first record - and first hit - Maybellene. We'll never forget those rock 'n' roll riffs buzzing out of the living room speakers for the very first time. Thank you, Gary Clark Jr, Jon Batiste, and the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs for reminding the world that Chuck Berry's music is timeless and will live on in your talents." - Themetta Berry and the entire Berry family #HailHailRocknRoll #tbt #papa (photo published in Sepia Magazine, 1958)
